A Reason, A Season, A Lifetime

People come into your life for
a REASON, a SEASON, or a LIFETIME.

When you know which one it is,

you will know what to do for that person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON,

it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.

They have come to assist you through a difficulty,

to provide you with guidance and support—
to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually.

Then, suddenly, the relationship comes to an end.

Realize your need has been met and their work is done.

The prayer you sent up has been answered

and now it is time to move on.


Some people come into your life for a SEASON,

because your turn has come to share, grow or learn.

They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.

They may teach you something you have never done.

They give you an unbelievable amount of joy.

Believe it, it is real. But only for a SEASON.


LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons:

Lessons you must build upon to have a solid foundation.

Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person

and put what you have learned to use
in all other relationships and areas of your life.

Thank you for being a part of my life:
Whether
you were for a REASON, a SEASON or a LIFETIME.
